Oakland police have arrested three people in connection with an illegal dirt bike and ATV group linked to an attempted robbery and carjacking earlier this month, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Police said officers responded March 2 to reports of riders illegally operating dirt bikes and ATVs on city streets when one rider allegedly attempted to rob and carjack a victim in the 5400 block of Telegraph Avenue.<\/p>\n
A patrol officer witnessed the incident and arrested one suspect at the scene, police said.<\/p>\n
Authorities said other riders briefly surrounded the officer. One suspect reportedly tried to kick the officer before the group fled. The officer was not injured.<\/p>\n
Police also said one rider struck a dog while fleeing, and the animal was treated for its injuries.<\/p>\n
After several weeks of investigation, officers served multiple search warrants Monday in Pittsburg, Antioch and Brentwood, leading to additional arrests, according to Oakland police.<\/p>\n
Police said three people were ultimately arrested and investigators seized six dirt bikes, one vehicle, two semiautomatic pistols and one assault rifle tied to the group.<\/p>\n
